Lamar wasn't very clear, perhaps, but it's `distro-sync full` that
relies on checksums. From the man-page (of Fedora 20):
If you give the optional argument "full", then the command will
also reinstall packages where the install checksum and the
available checksum do not match. And remove old packages (can be
used to sync. rpmdb versions). The optional argument "different"
can be used to specify the default operation.
Unfortunately, it seems that's not available in EL6. Presumably
Lamar has been dealing mostly with EL7 recently.
My apologies for perhaps not being very clear in that the 'full'
argument is supposed to improve the situation for EL7.
